The stunning 17th century Villa Lena is in the heart of Tuscany with its own bar, restaurant, organic farm and a pool with panaromic views. Inside, the rooms have a boutique feel while retaining rustic charm. Think beamed ceilings, luxe marble bathrooms and vintage lamps. All in all, it’s a stunning setting for a culture or arts retreat, whether solo or as a duo looking to reconnect. Mothers and daughters are common pairings here. The venue attracts requests from the crème de la crème of global talent to curate its seasonal calendar of environmentally-minded creative retreats, with workshops and feasting at their heart. Next year book in for Porcelain’s Natural Perfume retreat in spring, a Souljourn Yoga retreat in summer or the autumn harvest-themed retreat, with foraging, workshops and yoga from Nina Butler.
